(Hope I’m more successful with this post – I just got told off for being a well-known spammer!). Yes you’re right about the Brighton show being tomorrow – it’s a mad schedule though isn’t it? Brighton’s about 50 miles, or an hour’s drive from London, yet it’s taking Lucinda over a month to get from there to here – via Sweden, Germany and Spain, and points in between! At least she gets a day off between Bilbao on June 15th and London on June 17th. I saw (just) her UK dates on Songkick, and I think my brain simply refused to compute the month’s difference between the Brighton and London shows!
Anyway, I’ve got my tix for the London show – it looks like it’s selling pretty fast. There were only 7 tix left in the stalls when I booked, and the circle and balcony were filling up fast too. Should be a great night!
It was a fantastic show by the way. The Barbican Theatre may be too formal a space (no dancing!!!), but a fantastic performance from beginning to end 🙂
By the way, I’ve just been back and edited the Wikipedia entry to bring it up to date with the discussion here.

Actually she says “Tout est en son temps” which means

let’s time to the time.
The general idea is “everything will happen in time, don’t worry and be patient”.Later she says “et laissez le bon temps rouler” which means “let’s the good times roll”
I just received in the mail the quarterly issue of CAA magazine from my auto club membership. (same as AAA in the U.S.) It featured a great road trip article on scenic music trails of the Southeast U.S. and showed a picture of Fred’s Lounge.
Y’all will note the picture of Fred’s Lounge in Mamou, LA from the link below with “Laissez les bon temps rouler!” painted on the building.
So I have a couple of comments.
1. Did Lucinda get the inspiration of her Crescent City lyrics from this bar ?
2. I looked in the new liner notes for the re, re, release of her self-titled and the lyric line is as follows:
“And laissez le bon ton roulet”
So do you think it’s merely a typo in the booklet or what ?Sure looks like a cool Cajun bar with real early opening hours.

p.s just a filler thread for discussion until Lu’s World tour of LA starts. 😆
